Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 194,634,

dated August 28, 1877; application filed June 18, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB WOLF, of Henderson, in the county of Sibleyand State of Minnesota, have in vented a new and Improved Churn, ofwhich the following is a specification This invention relates to rotarybarrelchurns; and the nature of myinvention con sists in a novel mode ofapplying the dashers inside of the churn-barrel, whereby they can beeasily removed for cleaning, as will be hereinafter explained,

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a section taken vertically andtransversely through the churn-barrel, indicated by dotted line 00 a",Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section through the churn-barrel, taken inthe plane indicated by dotted lines y y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A designates the barrel of the frame, B, by means of gudgeonsa a, to one of which latter a hand-crank, G, is attached.

The barrel is made up of hoops, staves, and heads in the usualwell-known manner, and it is constructed with a rectangular opening,having beveled edges h, and closed by means of a stopper, 0, also havingbeveled edges.

The stopper 0 is drawn to its seat from within outward by means ofscrews b, thumbnuts 0}, and bridge'bars d. This stopper acts like awedge, and hermetically closes the opening through the bilge of thebarrel.

There are are three sets of dashersinside of the barrel A, arrangedequidistant apart, as shown in Fig.1. Each set of dashers con sists of abar, D, having broad tapered blades '0 fixed into it. The bars D arenotched at their ends to receive shouldered cleats his, and by means ofturn-buttons E, pivoted to one of the blades 0, the bars are rigidlyheld in their places. Holes are made through the end and side of thebarrel A, and provided with plugs g g for drawing off fluids.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- In combination with the barrel A the bars D,providedwith dash-blades c, and secured in their places by means ofcleats 70k and turn-buttons E, substantially as described.
